Contemplations of a parent... and a freebie of course! :)

Hi guys! :-)

It's Irene again here! :)

Yup - with a freebie!!! How on earth did you guess? LOL

A couple of days ago we bought a nice toy house for Arina - one of those you just set in the yard for the little ones to get inside and play. She was sooo excited about it! Needless to say we have neighbors here in the country who have kids too and they all came to play with her - that was fun! She was really happy communicating with someone her height LOL - when in the city she's kinda timid and afraid of making friends, well, maybe was just too small for that... just not too perky LOL Now it's getting better!

So the other day our neighbors had a picnic and they invited some of their relative... a sister I guess with a 4-year-old girl... That young lady just got inside of Arina's house, locked it and told her to get out! When my kid attempted to get in once again I heard that girl saying: "Get outta here, it's MY house". I was amazed that her mommy didn't react tho she heard everything!

I told Arina that the girl wasn't polite and that it was a bad way to behave - I was relieved my lil one didn't cry or get angry, she smiled and let that little monster play peacefully on her own there :)

DH went outrageous when I told him the story LOL But we left it as it was since we can't judge kids - it is not their fault that they are acting bad - it's the fault of their parents.

Where was I? LOL Oh!!!! I wanted to share a nice freebie with you! :)

This time it's a lil page kit called Hot Chick - maybe some of you don't even recall it! - it was a prize for some challenge and never hit the store. Now it's available again! Hope it will make the start of the week easier and more cheerful :)

We're starting to get things ready for DD's 2nd birthday on the 9th of July - DH is responsible for the present and fireworks, me - the cake and the decoration thing. A nice reason to do some shopping LOL

Hugs to all of ya - have a great Monday (Mondays are much better than we used to think since they start the road to Sundays!)

Missing Butterfly :)

LOL! SOOOOOOOOOOO SORRRY!!!!!!

I was in such a hurry yesterday with DD running around that I forgot to put the butterfly element into the zip - I will not reupload the whole archive so I decided just to share the missing element :)

Thanks for your prompt and your patience with me, dear ladies! :)

Hugs,

Ta-da!! An elegant freebie for you :)

It's me again - with the Versailles page kit offered as a freebie this time!

All you have to do to get it is just... DOWNLOAD it! LOL

This kit was inspired by the colors of the Versailles Palais interiors - I love Paris and last September I travelled there together with DH - he was thrilled with the luxurious mixture of golds, burgandies and velvet textures... I miss that trip already!

The kit is small (as a reminder - this is one of my former products made at 200 ppi) - now I'm making kits at 300 which tend to include 5-8 papers and around 20 elements. I still don't want to make the kits too large to make it easier for those who have limited internet access or are dial-up users. My philosophy in creating digital products is as follows:

- avoiding using actions, since I don't like similar elements in different kits;

- making stress NOT on the quantity but on the QUALITY of the elements - most of my designs are hand painted with my tablet;

-avoid using extracted images where possible;

-avoid duplicating and recoloring one similar element in a kit thus making 12 elements out of one... we all can recolor, can't we? So I think you'll be good at it yourself - and I allow recoloring :)

Soo... off to hunt for DD who's up to her chin in the sand making sand cakes LOL

And you can enjoy the Versailles page kit while I'm away! :)

Hugs to everyone
